Your Vehicle May Not Be Quite As Safe As You Think
Brian O Sutter
Recalls
Consumers go out of their way to find cars, trucks, and SUVs that keep themselves and loved ones safe. They research, research, and research some more until they finally find the perfect vehicle, or at least, so they think. From time to time, autos that have defective parts or software make it to the open market. Thus, purchasers are thrust into harm's way, regardless of how much research they complete. Driving around on Florida's streets and highways is dangerous enough without having to worry about your own car causing an issue. However, the threat is real as anyone can see from the recalls that have taken place over the last decade or so, and they don't look to be going away any time soon. For instance, readers are likely to remember hearing about the Takata airbag or GM ignition switch recalls in the news. They both led to a substantial amount of injuries and deaths.
When cars make into the hands of consumers, they are supposed to be safe and secure. Still, sometimes, a bad unit slips through the cracks. Loss of life and wounds are both possibilities when dealing with car crashes. If you or a loved one sustain injuries, or wrongful death occurs, you may be entitled to fair compensation for the damages.

Rather, put a proven attorney on your side and get the settlement that you deserve.
Florida Residents Should Know About Recall Number 19S03
Ford Motor Company is expected to begin recalling particular 2017-2019 Lincoln Continental vehicles in March 2019. There are approximately 27,609 units affected. Hence, they can probably be found all across the United States, including right here in Florida. They have door latch pawl motors that might fail to function correctly. What does that mean exactly? Well, the latch assemblies may not engage fully. In turn, the doors can open unexpectedly while driving.
If the event happens, another car can hit the door, a person may fall out of the vehicle, or a number of other issues can arise. Ford is supposed to notify owners of the problem directly. Additionally, certified dealers will replace all four latches on the vehicle free of charge. However, people can also contact the organization's customer service department at 1-866-436-7332 to obtain more information.
